## Resource

Barclays is acquiring GoHenry, the UK’s top kids’ finance app, to expand its family banking offerings while letting GoHenry keep its brand and app intact. GoHenry, founded in 2012 and now serving half a million UK kids, teaches financial skills from ages six to eighteen through an app with parental controls and a prepaid card. Originally bought by Acorns in 2023 for its US expansion, GoHenry is now returning to UK focus under Barclays — a move that boosts Barclays’ youth finance presence and lets GoHenry scale its mission of lifelong financial literacy.
